Talents

Altarea wants to be a public interest partner for cities. The Group is developing high-quality property solutions for a denser, smarter, more diversified and friendlier city which creates jobs and drives economic development with a low environmental footprint.

2020 Highlights

In 2020, the Group's results demonstrate its commitment: maintaining activities and supporting employment, pursuing the emission reduction objectives of CO₂ and the "useful nature" approach.

Lifestyles, behaviours, aspirations… customer expectations are changing and, across all of its activities, the Group engages in dialogue and listens: customer satisfaction is the Group’s top priority and it is also achieved through quality of life and well-being in its projects which, in addition, boost their long-term economic value.

2020 Highlights

The Group's 2020 results match its ambitions: HCG / Les Echos ranked it number 2 in customer relationship for 2020, Cogedim was voted Customer Services of the Year for the fourth consecutive year, and the Group continued its ambitious certification process with all the Residential, Business Property and Retail projects receiving a quality and/or environmental certification.

In order to support its growth and meet new urban challenges, in 2018 the Group reaffirmed its commitment to job creation and talent management.

2020 Highlights

In 2020, Altarea will ensure the development and wellbeing of its employees with its new head office at 87 Richelieu. Certified Top Employer, Altarea has also pursued its policy of skills development, particularly CSR.
